Attendance Policy Class attendance is essential to the learning process of the entire community. Absence from class by a student not only limits that student’s learning, but it also limits the learning of the entire class that is deprived of that student’s input. Any absence, for any reason, prevents the student and the class from getting the full benefit of the course. Students should be aware that class attendance may also be required for financial aid purposes and could impact existing or future financial aid. Students are, therefore, expected to attend all classes of the courses in which they are registered and to be on time. Instructors may include class attendance as a measure of academic performance for grading purposes in the course syllabus. It is the responsibility of the student to contact the instructor to discuss any missed class work due to absences. When a student is absent from class, it is up to the instructor to determine what make-up work, may be allowed.
Classroom and Campus Expectations Ideal learning takes place in environments where trust, mutual respect and active engagement is valued and observed by all participants. Students are expected to conduct themselves in a manner appropriate to a professional setting. Students are expected to be respectful of the learning environment established by the instructor. No student has the right to be disruptive, disrespectful or uncivil in their conduct – including language – in any setting (this includes online, Face Book, web-based venues).
DESCRIPTION OF WORK TO BE DONE OUTSIDE CLASSROOM: Entering data for calendar and address book, email; creating classroom integration lesson plan; subscribing to Podcast / Vodcast sites in iTunesU; locating digital / ebooks for personal and professional use; researching articles related to iPads in education; downloading applications for personal and professional use; syncing iPad to the computer for backup and management of device; discussions.
